Thru] jCapital Keyholes EXPANDING— RaIeigh politicians see in Congressman B. L. Doughton's decision to go afield outside his own district to make campaign speeches this fall further indication of his desire to occupy the red leather chair in the southwest office of the State Capitol after Governor Ehring haus vacates it. Mr. Doughton has not made a habit of campaigning outside his own playing field in the past. Some of the dopers-out think he wants to becoine personally ac quainted with more of the natives in preparation for his primary cam paign in 1986.!. y ~t : -,1 2 !i , ,^-rr —an*. * JUICY PLUM —The grapevine re ports here that Barber Towler, of Raleigh, has notified Chas. K. Rob ertson that He willlr'esign his with the International Revenue De-' partpnqnt, o? whic£ Mr. Robertson is head »man! in /.NorthCarolina. Towler was one of the many em ployes of the office who were forced to move from Raleigh to Greensboro when the Fourth District's new Con gressman Harold D. Cooley was un able to prevent removal of the of fice to national committeeman C. L. Shuping's home town. Mr. Towler's resignation will leave a $3,600 a year job open for some promising Dem ocrat. TIT-FOR-TAT —The General As sembly has been annexing $1,000,000 each year from taxes paid by people who use automobile and trucks for general State expenditures. Now along comes Uncle Sam and says if you divert your highway funds we will penalize you thirty percent of your federal aid road money. North Carolina is to get about $3,000,000 per year in federal aid money dur ing the next bierinium and if the diversion is continued the State will lose a million bucks through penal ties each year. Which means a loss of $2,000,000 in highway construc tion that can be obtained if the one YOU'LL 'filMIT IS A SENSATIONAL VALUE Pictures don't tell the story. You must see a Maytag demonstrated before you can realize how much you get for your money. This extra Maytag quality is the rea son more May tags were bought in half of 1934 than in all of 1933.

BIG LOSS —The value of exhibits lost When the east wing of the main building at the State Fairgrounds burned is not a drop in the bucket to what they were really worth. The display of mounted game and birds loaned for the fair by C. N. Mease, Mdunt Mitchell for est warden, was the result of four teen year's hard work and ,it will take long to collect others to re place those lost "in the fjlre. Rare specimens of insects and other life in North Carolina cannot be easily replaced although they bore no great monetary value. ~i ~ • '■ • 1 «i . i '.*•/* J'. i _ ■ j* ■ :■i . : ■ > GOOD STORY —Former Governor O. Max Gardner tells this one about Death Row at State's Prison in Ral eigh. He said he received a note from a doomed Negro reading: "Dear Governor: —I understand I am to be electrocuted Friday and here it is Tuesday—yours very truly." He did not disclose the man's name but said he granted the prisoner a thirty day reprieve after receiving the pathetic note. Governor Gardner was just that way. PROUD—George G. Scott, direc tor of the accounts division of the State Revenue Department, is as proud as a puppy with two tails these days and you will excuse him. His son, Randolph Scott, now a big shot motion picture star in the Hol lywood heavens, has been visiting "his old man" in Raleigh. Young Scott attended the University of North Carolina and became a public accountant and entered business with his father who happens to hold C.P.A. license number one in North Carolina. That was before the lad's name made the bright lights, of course. ABSENTEE VOTING—The State Board of Elections got an eyeful in recent investigations of irregular absentee voting in the June pri maries and now plans to launch a campaign to cleanse the system. The next session of the Legislature is sure to witness strenuous efforts to repeal the absentee ballot law and it is not at all certain that the move ment will fail, especially as the law applies to primaries. The 1933 ses sion raised a lot of' dust in its war on absentee voting but failed to get a State-wide repealer approved al though many counties were ex emptied upon insistence of their Sen ators and Representatives. LIVELY SCRAP—Senators Paul Grady, of Johnson, and Carl L. Bailey, of Washington Counties, are staging intensive campaigns for the post of President Pro Tem of the 1935 Senate with few persons drift ;ng into the Capital City willing to make predictions on the winner. Both men were popular in the 1933 session and Capitol Knoll considers ither one of them excellent material f or assistant to Lieutenant Governor \. H. (Sandy) Graham in presiding over the Upper House. Senator Grady, as you remember, has an nounced his intention of running for Lieutenant Governor two years hence. HONORABLE MENTION Thad Sure,' of Hertford CoUiity, principal clerk of the last session arid an an nounced candidate for the post next January, has been mentioned for more high State positions than any other man since the Albemarle gave "■he State John C. B. Ehringhaus as Governor—but mentional Is about all. Mr. Eure has an inconspicuous post with the escheats department of the University at Chapel Hill, but almost every time a prominent and "ucrative State position is to be filled, ip pops the name of Thad Eure. Mr. Eure finds it all slightly em 'oarrasing to say the least. BUZZING State Democratic headquarters at Raleigh has become veritable bee-hive of activity dur ng the past few days. Precinct and "ounty bosses from the four corners if the State are dropping- in for an nfection of enthusiasm and last ninute instructions for the remain 'ng weeks of the biennial political classic. Chairman Wallace Winborne and Mrs. Charles W. Tillett, Jr., are away much of the time bombarding he Republicans first here and next "here and Cutler Moore, newly elected secretary is holding out the Tlad hand- In the words of former Governor O. Max Gardner, Mr. Moore is "giving them the razzle dazzle." Democrats are confident of great victories in most of the "ounties next month but the Repub icans "ain't conceding nothing" and working early and late in the close counties. JOB WAITING—An attache of the Federal Reemployment Office at Raleigh reports that he has a sl.lO in hour job for a skilled carpenter that is almost always begging for a man to fill it. Plenty of carpenters ire available but they can't produce 'he kind of "trim" work needed on THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA the job or are too old and too slow for the contractors close bid. The reemployment department finds it difficult to secure fast "trim" car penters for contractors on PWA pro jects. SPEAKER—WhiIe most ear-to the-ground politicians deny they can find any trace of partiality on the part of Governor Ehringhaus in the race for Speaker of the next House session now being run by Robert Orady Johnson, of Pender, Laurie McEachern, of Hoke, and W. L. Lumpkin, of Franklin, other finger in-the-pie boys testify they can sense a nod of approval in the direction of Johnson. If the Governor is pulling any strings for the next Speaker ship they are invisible ones.
